The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) issued a warning on X saying that anyone who doxxes or threatens Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents will face prosecution, following the indictment of three women accused of targeting a federal officer.

"To every anti-ICE coward: Dox, threaten, assault, or lay a hand on @ICEgov law enforcement and YOU TOO will join these sickos in facing prosecution to the fullest extent of the law," DHS wrote in its post accompanied by a headline of the news story from Fox News.

The warning comes after a federal grand jury charged three women — Cynthia Raygoza, 37, of Riverside, Ashleigh Brown, 38, of Aurora, Colorado, and Sandra Carmona Samane, 25, of Panorama City — with conspiracy and publicly disclosing the personal information of a federal agent.

Brown is in federal custody without bond, also facing a separate charge of assaulting a federal officer. Samane was released on a $5,000 bond, and Raygoza remains at large. If convicted, the women face up to five years in prison for each count.

According to the Department of Justice, the women followed an ICE officer from downtown Los Angeles to his home on August 28, 2025. Prosecutors say the women livestreamed the pursuit on Instagram, providing directions as they trailed the agent and encouraging viewers to share the stream. Once at the residence, the defendants allegedly announced to bystanders that "la migra lives here" and published the agent's home address online, urging followers to "come on down."

Acting U.S. Attorney Bill Essayli condemned the conduct on the DOJ's website:

"Our brave federal agents put their lives on the line every day to keep our nation safe. The conduct of these defendants are deeply offensive to law enforcement officers and their families. If you threaten, dox, or harm in any manner one of our agents or employees, you will face prosecution and prison time"

The case marks one of the first federal prosecutions tied directly to the doxxing of ICE personnel, a tactic that officials say has escalated alongside protests against immigration enforcement operations. Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem previously warned that publishing agents' personal information would result in criminal charges.
